With the recovery of Ye Feiyang's eyes and the melting of the snow in the mountains, everyone in the family resumed their busy work. Qi Shu continued to take the tiger cubs to hunt, and Ye Feiyang continued to make winter food at home in different ways. Auspicious can't eat For pickled things, the cured fish and bacon prepared before are enough.

Ever since he knew that pheasants could not lay eggs, Ye Feiyang gave up the idea of ​​raising them in captivity, but all the pheasants brought back were slaughtered and thrown into the space for later use.The pots and jars at home are not big enough. Fortunately, Qishu took advantage of the rainy and snowy weather to weave a lot of bamboo baskets at home, and put them in the space, a natural constant temperature fresh-keeping room, without any pressure. Ye Feiyang worked tirelessly to fill them with all kinds of meat. The bamboo baskets are labeled one by one, and they are sorted into different categories to be eaten on a certain day, and the food for the tiger cubs is separated from the food for themselves, which is more conducive to the statistics of food reserves.

After setting up the bamboo baskets, Ye Feiyang was busy picking the ripe fruits in the space. Although the growth of plants in this space completely ignores the laws of nature, it still takes several days to mature. Ever since he decided to go down the mountain to live, Ye Feiyang has been We have already started to prepare for the seed issue, where do the seeds come from?A large part is from the fruit.Squatting on the ground to dig potatoes, Ye Feiyang suddenly remembered the method of making coarse starch that he had seen before, it seems to be made from potatoes and sweet potatoes.Thinking of this, Ye Feiyang regained his energy immediately, dug out a lot of potatoes, and prepared to try them first.

As soon as Qishu came back, he saw a lot of things like small clods piled up in the kitchen. Now he knew that these were potatoes. He smiled and asked, "Feiyang, what delicious food do you want?"

Ye Feiyang raised his head disheartened: "Brother Qi, I remember there is a small stone mill at home, do you know where it is?"

"Oh, I put that one in the house to step on." Qi Shu said, turned around and left the kitchen, and soon came over with a stone mill in his arms.

Ye Feiyang has black lines all over his head. Hey, this is the guy who grinds the soy milk. He actually took it to step on his feet!Although Jixiang can't drink soy milk yet, that doesn't mean the stone mill is useless!Qi Shu obviously felt that something was wrong, and smiled awkwardly: "It's been too long, I'll go wash it off." Ye Feiyang looked at Qi Shu's back, went into the space and washed his face, leaving Ji Xiang and the baby behind. The car was dragged out together. The little guy now sleeps for an uncertain time, and he will wake up once in a while, so he has to be by his side to take care of him.

When Qishu cleaned the stone mill and came back, Ye Feiyang had already peeled a lot of potatoes and cut them into pieces. Qishu was obviously good at grinding stone, so Ye Feiyang took the potatoes Put the pieces into the small hole on the top, add some water, and after a while, the slurry will come out. After the potatoes that were cut earlier are finished, Ye Feiyang will bring out the slurry, and first use a fine sieve to remove the slurry. The pulp water was filtered once, filtered some dregs, and then put the filtered pulp water into a cloth bag, squeezed the cloth bag to let the water overflow, and then put the overflowing water in a wooden basin to let it settle, It wasn't until after dinner that Ye Feiyang came to see it again. The top layer of clear water was poured out, and the wet and sticky stuff below was wet starch. Ye Feiyang suddenly smiled, turned his head and said to Qishu and Ye Feiyang : "We can eat fish balls anytime in the future!"

Qi Shu looked at Ye Fei's beaming expression and smiled softly, and Ji Xiang giggled when he heard his words.Ye Feiyang took out the wet starch, cut it into small pieces, spread it out in a shallow wooden basin, and when it dried in the sun, it would be starch.With enough starch, you can cook a lot of delicious food for the Chinese New Year!

So, after dinner that day, Ye Feiyang went to the space to pick some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Qishu kept grinding them until it was dark.After lying on the bed, Ye Feiyang recovered from the excitement. Thinking of the stone mill that Qishu had been grinding for several hours, he couldn't help feeling guilty and distressed. He pinched Qishu's arm and asked with concern. : "Brother Qi, after so long, are your hands sore?"

Qi Shu originally wanted to say that this matter was nothing, but after seeing Ye Feiyang's expression, he changed his words: "Fortunately, it's not very sour, just sleep well."

Ye Feiyang was in a hurry, turned over and sat up on the kang: "Hands are sore when you sleep, it will only be more sore! I will pinch it for you." Saying that, regardless of Qishu's wishes, he pulled his hand onto his lap and squeezed it hard. Kneaded up.Qi Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing Ye Feiyang's serious appearance, and felt refreshed all over.

After pinching for a long time, Qi Shu was afraid that Ye Feiyang's hands would be sore, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small piece bulged in the quilt, and the small piece was still moving. After a while, a small head came out and looked up. Looking at Ye Feiyang with his neck, he stretched out his small arms and babbled.

Ye Feiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and squeezed Jixiang's little arm with one hand: "Apart from eating and sleeping every day, what else do you need to squeeze?"

"Ah... ah..." Jixiang stubbornly stretched out his small arms.Ye Feiyang squeezed the little guy symbolically a few times and hugged the little guy into his arms and kissed a few times: "Okay, Jixiang's bones are soft, so you can't pinch too much, good boy, it's time to go to bed." Little Jixiang was very satisfied, She returned a wet kiss to Ye Feiyang, then closed her eyes in his arms, and fell asleep not long after.

Gently take off the auspicious thick coat, leaving only the thin underwear, and then give up. The kang head has been burned long ago, and it is not good to wear too much.Waiting for auspiciousness, Ye Feiyang took off his clothes and waded into the bed. Just as he was about to turn over to hug auspiciousness, he was pulled by Qi Shu, and a light kiss fell on the corner of his mouth. Although it was not the first time, the second time and the third time, Ye Feiyang Still very embarrassed, she turned over with a blushing face and hugged Jixiang into her arms, and then waited to be hugged by Qi Shu again.The other quilt that was originally used for Qi Shu to sleep alone was lying alone in the corner of the kang.

In the morning, Ye Feiyang went to the space to feed the wild rabbits as usual, but found that there were eight more pure white baby rabbits in one of the rabbit cages. He was very happy and couldn't help feeling the reproductive ability of the rabbits. Rabbits caused disasters to the whole country, but now he is looking forward to the rabbits having more cubs, it's all money!Smiling, he prepared a large bowl of water and doubled food for the hard-working female rabbit, and the other rabbits were also comforted.

Pour off all the water on the layer of starch that was put in and precipitated last night, take out the wet starch inside and cut it into pieces, and then put it outside the house to dry. The weather is good these days, and it should be able to dry soon. dry.With the starch, Ye Feiyang was full of confidence, and immediately decided to catch more fresh fish before the brook was frozen, make more fish balls and put them away, and also make some fish cakes and meat cakes, considering the auspicious Stomach, it’s better to make some fish cakes, meat cakes are unnecessary, it’s too greasy for Jixiang.

Qi Shu came back a bit late that day, still holding a ball of white snow in his arms: "This fox hurt its foot, I gave it medicine, and it will recover after a while, do you want to keep it?"

The fox's whole body was snow-white, with no stray hairs to be found, only the tip of its nose was black, round like a black jewel, its mouth was a little pointed, its small triangular furry ears were cute, its eyes were slender, and the eyeballs revealed a faint gleam. It is red, and the big fluffy tail is bigger than its body. I don't know if it is injured. At the moment, it is holding the tail with its front paws, licking it once and for all.

Ye Feiyang has always had no resistance to this kind of cute little animal. After touching it a few times tentatively, he couldn't help reaching out to pick it up: "Is it okay to keep it? Will it hurt Jixiang?"

Qi Shu said with a smile: "This little beast is very smart, as long as you feed it, it won't hurt anyone, not to mention there are tiger cubs around."

Ye Feiyang felt relieved, and gently stroked the fox's fur. When he rubbed it to the neck, he could still feel it rubbing against it. Ye Feiyang scratched his neck for a while when his heart moved.

Seeing that Ye Feiyang seemed to like the white fox, Qi Shu nodded secretly. The reason why he brought the fox back was because he thought that he would let the tiger go back to the mountain after a while. With the white fox by his side, the soft-tempered person in front of him might not be so sad .

Ye Feiyang didn't know what Qi Shu was thinking. After rubbing the white fox for a while, he went to build a small nest for it. He used the same bamboo baskets used by the tiger cubs, spread some old cotton wool inside, and covered it with some straw. , is suitable for the current body shape of the white fox.

The tiger cubs who have gradually grown into fierce tigers still do not change their old habits, they circle around Ye Feiyang, biting his trouser legs lightly, as if they are very dissatisfied that their nest is occupied by others, even if they have been abandoned. Wo, tigers are very territorial.Ye Feiyang rubbed their growing heads: "You don't need this litter anymore, let the little foxes sleep. As the king of beasts, you have to be kingly, good boy." Two words may be more convincing.The tiger cubs protested feebly for a while, but were finally bought off by Ye Feiyang's two bunches of grapes.

Thinking of the stories he had heard in the past, there were always various foxes who ate grapes, so Ye Feiyang picked a small bunch of grapes and put them in front of the white fox. After coming down, I swallowed it in one gulp without spitting out the skin. Perhaps I tasted the sweetness, and the bunch of grapes was diminishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During lunch, Ji Xiang's powerful little eyes immediately caught the white fox, and stared at it brightly, even if Ye Feiyang fed him fish balls, he couldn't draw the little guy's attention back.However, Ye Feiyang still didn't dare to let Ji Xiang touch the white fox. If it hurts somewhere, give it a paw, Ji Xiang's tender skin can't bear it.

Qi Shu didn't go out again in the afternoon, the tiger cubs nestled lazily outside the house to bask in the sun, while the white fox curled up obediently in its den, with its front paws hugging its tail, sound asleep.After Ye Feiyang coaxed Ji Xiang to sleep, he took Qi Shu to the stream to go fishing.

Herring is the best way to make fish cakes, but Ye Feiyang thinks that fish raised in this kind of pure natural water should be good, so don't be careless, as long as they are big, they will be caught.Qi Shu stood in the icy stream with his trouser legs rolled up, and his sleeves were rolled up high. Ye Feiyang felt cold when he looked at it, but seeing that Qi Shu's hands and feet didn't show black bruises or goosebumps, he should still be able to bear it Within the range, he couldn't help urging: "Brother Qi, hurry up and catch a few and come up, we will use fishing later." Qi Shu smiled and agreed, although this level of cold water is common for him, he You grew up soaking in cold water when you were young, how could Shaolin Temple boil hot water for you to wash, but it feels good to be cared for.

Ye Feiyang stood on the bank, waiting for Qi Shu to throw the fish on the bank, and then went to catch the fish into the bamboo basket. The fish in this creek was quite rich, and it didn't take long before he caught a basket full of them. , this is also inseparable from Qi Shu's excellent martial arts skills, as long as he makes a move, it must be a success, Ye Feiyang waved eagerly: "Brother Qi, enough is enough! Come up quickly!"

When Jixiang woke up, the room was quiet, obviously he was the only one again, he curled his mouth and stretched a little, thinking of the white fox he saw just now, he immediately moved his little head, skillfully He turned over and slowly crawled on the bed with his butt pouted. When he got to the edge of the bed, he finally saw the white fox. I really wanted to touch it, but when I didn't pay attention, my little palm was empty, and my little body fell off the kang...
